On Saturday afternoon, two of the Bundesliga strugglers Hertha Berlin and Augsburg meet at the Olympiastadion Berlin, with both teams looking to move away from the relegation zone.
Hertha Berlin are in poor form in the Bundesliga, as a 2-0 defeat against city-rivals Union Berlin in the derby last time out means that Pal Dardai’s team has failed to win in three matches in German top-flight, having suffered two defeats and picked up just one draw.

The home team have been poor in front of goal this season, as only four teams in the German top-flight have scored fewer goals than Hertha.
Hertha Berlin’s recent home form has been highly inconsistent. However, a record of just two home wins from their last seven outings is a concerning one.
They have also kept just one clean sheet in their previous five home matches in the German top-flight.
Augsburg are a point behind their 14th place hosts and also a point clear of the relegation play-off spot in the German capital.
The visitors recent league form hasn’t been awful, as they have won two of their last three league matches, including a 2-1 home win against reigning champions Bayern Munich last time out.
However, like their hosts, they have struggled to string together a run of results and like the home team, have won just two of their previous seven matches in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg have been woeful travellers of late in the Bundesliga, as the visitors have failed to win any of their last 12 away games in the German top-flight. To make matters worse, they have lost ten of those 12 league matches on their travels.
With very little between these two teams in the table, it is of little surprise that Forebet predicts that this game will end in a low-scoring draw.
